This week I felt like my belly grew a LOT, although I'm not sure it's obvious in the picture. Other than feeling very large, not much has changed: I'm still sleeping okay thanks to Ambien; my wrist isn't bothering me too badly thanks to the cortisone injection; my ankles are still in existence; and I still get very uncomfortable if I eat more than a snack at a time. All in all, I'd say I'm doing pretty well for this late in a twin pregnancy.
I'm getting a mix of comments from strangers. Some think I'm huge and about to give birth imminently ("What, are you due tomorrow?"), while others think my belly is relatively small considering I only have 6 weeks left.
The twins are likely just under 4.5 pounds each, about the size of pineapples, although we'll get a better estimate at my MFM appointment this week. Finally, their combined weights are probably more than CC's was at birth! I feel them moving constantly, elbows and knees rolling across my belly, and almost nonstop pressure pushing my ribs out. And their tastebuds are developed, so hopefully they will come out ready to eat!
